Sanaz and the Live.com team posted last night on “a small update” to Live.com, featuring continued performance improvements (and yes it’s sooo much better than the old days). Live.com promises even more perf improvements coming soon, according to the blog entry.

Other improvements include new features to the Stock Gadget, some new Shopping Gadgets up at Gallery.Live.com, new abilities to rename Gadgets on the page, and “Start Over” – completely wiping the slate clean of all customizations on your page(s) when you’re signed in to your Live ID. “Erasing is forever”, but sometimes it’s best to just start over from scratch.
